The method is relatively simple. First put all the prepared bonsai mountain stones in clean water and soak them for a period of time, then evenly sprinkle taro or potato powder on the soaked mountain stones and pot soil, and finally cover the watered mountain stones and pot soil with well-grown damp weeds, spray water every day, and after about a week the weeds will grow green moss.

2. Moss inoculation method
This method is a little more complicated. First choose a few pieces of loess, grind them fine and add water to make a paste, put naturally collected moss from the wild into the mud slurry and stir it evenly, then use a brush to dip a small amount and evenly spread it on the soaked mountain stones and pot soil, water it every day, and after several days the moss will grow. Natural moss can also be dried in the sun, ground into powder, mixed with water, and spread on.

3. Natural mossing method

Natural mossing actually means letting moss grow naturally on the mountain stones and pot soil, rather than adding moss artificially. The method is still very simple: put the mountain stones in the bonsai into a water basin, water them at fixed times every day with rice-washing water and vegetable-washing water to keep the mountain stones moist, and place the mountain stones in a shaded place indoors; after two days, moss will grow on the mountain stones, very quickly.

4. Mossing on the pot surface method

A moss bonsai still needs a bit of ornamental value. When making it, the moss can be made more refined. You can spread a piece of film flat in a damp indoor place without sunlight, place the original moss collected from nature on the film, water it every day to keep it moist, fertilize after the moss sprouts, and after about half a month it can be covered on the pot soil; carefully tended moss is even greener.

How to keep a moss bonsai moist

1. Light:Compared with other bonsai, a moss bonsai is a very unique bonsai, because moss plants prefer a cool environment. Moreover, in places with plenty of sunlight, moss loses water quickly. Therefore, in order to better keep the moss bonsai moist, it needs to be placed in a cool, ventilated place indoors, with less sun exposure, especially avoiding the midday sun.

2. Watering:If moss is to keep growing for a long time, its water requirements are very high. After all, it is an aquatic plant, and in daily cultivation the moss must always be kept moist. In addition to the necessary watering every day, you can also spray water on the moss and the surrounding mountain stones to maintain the humidity of the bonsai, so the bonsai stays more moist and the moss can grow more luxuriantly.

3. Temperature:Moss is relatively sensitive to temperature. If the temperature is too high, it is not easy for the plant to grow. Usually a temperature of around ten-plus to twenty-plus degrees is already enough. In summer, when the temperature is high, it needs cooling, and in winter, when the temperature is low, attention must be paid to keeping it warm.

Summary: A moss bonsai is actually a really great bonsai, and compared with other bonsai, the biggest key to cultivating this kind of bonsai is paying attention to moisture and a cool environment, so it is very easy to grow. Everyone can give it a try.
